Housing Assignment Considerations

Housing assignments for Smith, Wallace, Sunderland, and the campus apartments are based on date of deposit/receipt of housing contract. We do our best to pair people based on the living habits, interests/hobbies, and extracurricular activities marked on the housing contract.

When making residence hall, room and roommate assignments, the university does not discriminate based upon race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, or culture.

Our residence halls are all co-ed facilities; however, male and female students will not share suites or bathrooms with the exception of students who select gender-inclusive housing. Our campus apartments offer male- and female-only options, as well as gender-inclusive options.

If a student chooses a “male” or “female” suite or apartment, they will be assigned based on the gender indicated on their housing contract.
